British Columbia Shiras Moose Late Hunt
«

December 31, 2015, 10:59:15 AM »
Went on a late November Shiras moose hunt in southern BC. Had a great hunt, saw lots of moose and was able to connect with this good bull on the 4th day. He was the 8th bull (and biggest) that we saw in 3.5 days. It was interesting hunting these in the late season. We actually saw most of our moose from about noon to 3 PM when they would come out of the timber and lay in the sun to warm up.

Our best day we saw 18 moose, 3 of which were bulls. We averaged seeing about 10 moose per day. It was weird glassing at first light and only seeing a couple of moose up and moving with most being bedded then seeing moose all over mid day in the bright sunlight. We never did sleep in but you definitely could have!

Congratulations!
I'd also like to know which outfitter you used. Even though I was lucky enough to hunt moose in Washington this year, I keep finding myself looking into B.C. moose hunts within decent driving distance. Thanks

Covert Outfitting is who I went with. All in (tags, fuel, tip, etc) was about $9600 but that cost was driven up due to the Shiras portion and guys trying to fill their North American 29.....
Kiff Covert will have a booth at the Washington Sportsmen's Show in Puyallup.
With that said, if you want to kill a shiras moose it was definitely a fun hunt with plenty of moose around and not overly physically challenging. I went the last week of November and would probably move that up a week due to the allotment of tags per unit and the risk of tags all being used in the best area before you arrive. (4 tags for 3 different units with a total of 12 tags, once the 4 tags are filled in a particular unit the guide can no longer take anyone in there)
Any other questions feel free to PM me.
